No promises guys but I used to be part of the Ridgeline forum for 5 or 6 years until my divorce separated me from my beloved truck and I’m pretty savvy with a tape measure 😂. I even went to to the SEMA show in ‘16 when the Ridgeline was first released.

If the Slate reps at the event don't follow the forum they're gonna be scratching their heads about all of the measuring going on. :)
i hope multiple people are doing it at the same time and someone gets a photo haha

Is anyone actually close enough that they know the area, shop, parking situation?
Looks to be a relatively small repair shop, not a lot of on site space.
Looks like parking meters at $4 an hour, and a parking structure 2 blocks away that is 90 minutes free, then $1 every 15 minutes.

Think this is what you're talking about KevinRS. City has a parking garage that says it's a four minute walk at 200 Main St. High season is $17 for the day.

Contacted Slate regard the August event. The reply came quickly. Sharing.

That's the thing, they are quite vague on timing, events show up on the web site with 2 weeks down to a couple of day notice. I'd be a lot more comfortable waiting on at least a sit in event if they were to at least say they are planning/hoping to start those in month X.

It's not a bad walk probably best to find a place to park and walk since there will likely be a few people.
Yeah, I am thinking drive by the location and park at the parking structure and walk back. I am just wondering at that location do they have room for more than a couple of people to see the truck at a time. I'd think they would pick somewhere with a big parking lot with lots more space than what appears to be a small repair shop that specializes in imports and sells them on consignment.

I think at most I've seen maybe 4 people on this forum report that they went to any one event, this poll shows 13 planning to go, if there is 3x the normal crowd from past events...

I would have gone to past events had I known about them sooner. I wonder if this place will be a repair pal location for the slate.
